The Night
Radio Werewolf Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Open your shuttered windows
Unlock your bolted doors
Cast off that crucifix
Tonight's for dark amor
You seem so listless darling
You're looking rather ill
That palor quite becomes you
Now, lay there very still
You hear the rustling sound of silken wings
A burning in the darkness
The kiss that stings
You're trembling so my precious
Your heart it beats so fast
Look long upon this sunset
It just may be your last
And the night
Belongs to us
You will learn
Of the thirst that always burns
Yes, the night
Belongs to us
You will learn
Of the thirst that always burns
Yes, the night!!
It belongs to us!!
Let this cold passion take you
Away from all your pain
It's easy to surrender
As life so softly drains
The spider spins its web for unwary flies
Now you are one of us
I see it in your eyes
Now your white hands are folded
Across your quiet breast
You have crossed over
From one world to the next
And I will never let your
Fragile beauty fade
We'll watch the centuries pass
In their long parade
And the night
Belongs to us
You will learn
Of the thirst that always burns
And the night
Belongs to us
You will learn
Of the thirst that always burns




And the night!!
Belongs to us!!
